Hades - Greek = grave pit for the dead, also Greek mythology - god of the underworld/place of the dead
Sheol - Hebrew = grave, pit, place of the dead.
The dead are conscious of nothing. Hell is the grave, none born miss it.
Hell is not a place of eternal fiery torment. The church stole that concept from the Greek myths (River Styx) to control their people in life and in death. Dante's Inferno and Milton's Paradise Lost served to fuel the church's fire.
Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 139
8. If I ascend to the heavens, there You are, and if I make my bed in the grave, behold, You are there.
KJV - Psalms 139:
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there .
